[quote=\"Qalb\"]Called RGS this morning.. all emails for the half day programme should be out today. For those who have gone for an interview earlier but did not receive an email for the half day programme, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Fingers cross.

I too, called RGS in this morning. They said only selected students would need to attend half day program and it does not mean those are not selected for half day prog are unsuccessful in the DSA application including candidates from mainstream, it sounds weird to me.

Is it true that some just need to attend interview without half day program and can be offered the place based on interview and academic performance in the past? Does anyone has the experience in the past?

Hard to say as next year DSA will not include general academic category and tests. It seems that almost all schools are already implementing part of these new changes, i.e. almost all do not have general academic tests this year, and NYGH only has interview. I re-read RGS DSA website carefully, and it does not indicate that not being called up for half day program = not successful, unlike NUS High which is quite clear on this point.

Perhaps RGS may not called up everyone for aptitude test, and will instead solely rely on past results and achievements for selection?

Thus far those called up for RGS half day program are in CCA and English. Also those called up for Maths and Science seems to be for interview but no one has received call for half day program (yet)?[/quote]
My girl will be attending HDP at RGS. She went fr interview last wed. Dsa through Academics- science

Hi myteapot


May I know how u know will be release today? For the RI HDP? RI mentioned end of July no dates given though

Thanks

Hi Ladylady,

Oh, it's just that I was expecting it to be by this week since according to their DSA website, the interview starts from 25th July which is next Tuesday, and I thought there should be ample notification time. But then again, they added in 2 more interview dates which is 7th and 11th Aug.

Hi teapot that I conquer w you if looking st the interview dates by right shld b today


Else I think be next wk or even end of next week to release!

Thanks teapot

I am confused too. The kids were told that, it (RI HDP results) would be in two weeks. We will be in suspense until next week is what my inner voice is saying.

[Ladylady]

Yes I think looks like it should be only next wk then be released.

[myteapot]

Hi Ladylady,


Yup, I think it should be next week. Hopefully, all who went for the HDP will be informed, regardless of whether successful or not so that we (parents rather than DS) can close the chapter and move on.

[Ladylady]

Yes I think if I m not wrong all participants will receive regardless successful foe the next round interview or not


I agree with u so that if not successful we can close the chapter n move on!!!

how i wish the schools can do both interview and written test on the same day(doable for Academic DSA), liked what Cedar girls is doing. Then we parents don't have to be going thru a few rounds of mood swing liked roller coaster: R ds/dd selected for test? after test, when will the school notify us? r ds/dd shortlisted for interviews? OMG :frustrated:
